When celebrating the arrival of a new baby girl or boy, you should send a thoughtful and memorable gift. If you don’t know what to send for the new arrival, you are in luck. Online gift shops make it easy thanks to packed and packaged new baby hamper gifts. Here’s what to look for when shopping for that perfect gift.

Baby clothes

A beautiful outfit is always a lovely gift and you can be sure that the new parents will think of you whenever baby wears your gift. When choosing a baby gift hamper that includes clothes, make sure that you select according to the gender of the baby or choose something neutral. Neutral colours include white, yellow and turquoise. Some of the most popular baby clothes include baby grows, booties and hats. Accessories like bibs are also great because you never can have too many of these!

Toys

When it comes to toys, it is very important to select based on their age. Newborn baby toys are specially designed to ensure that they do not present any risk to the baby. When you read the description of the new baby hamper, make sure that you read about the toy to make sure it is suitable for newborns. If anything, you could still send the gift but advise mum and dad that the toy is better suited for when their baby gets a little bit older.

Keepsakes

If you like, you can send a christening-themed new baby hamper. These hampers include a variety of keepsakes that the parents can set aside once baby outgrows them. When he or she gets older, these keepsakes will serve as a loving reminder of how much you cared for them from the beginning.

For mum and dad

A new baby hamper can also include a little something for mum and dad. If mum is bottle feeding, you could send a bottle of champagne. Alternatively, you could opt for some luxury chocolates that the new parents can enjoy together. As important as it is to celebrate the new baby, it’s just as important to let the new parents know that they also have your support.

These are the best and most important items to include in a new baby hamper. Don’t forget to include a special message in the card attached and, if you like, you can even include a colourful balloon to brighten their day even more!
